The world is full of idiots like Saddam Hussein, Bin-Laden and Kim Jong-il and all the miriad evil wannabees oppressing people in various Central/South American, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian countries. They happily take all the money the United States will give them and/or they can get from oil profits and stash it away in overseas accounts, build massive palaces and build up a military to rid the world of Jews (middle east) or to blackmail the U.S. into giving them more money (Korea) instead of using it on the people and then have the gall to blame the U.S. for their problems. The United States is far from perfect and it sure isn't a righteous, God-fearing nation - it has it's share of sins - but it doesn't even come close to being as bad as most of the rest of the world and the U.S. has been a huge blessing to this world in more ways than you can count. The worst part is hearing fellow Americans criticize this country as if it is the bane of the world, which they learn in our schools and so-called institutions of higher learning. ( Which are the bane of this country) Right is wrong, wrong is right. Or is it "there is no right or wrong"?

I wish they would stop harping on this cloning thing too. It's really not that big of a deal. Basically what they are doing is just a fancy form of artificial insemenation, it's very difficult but not magic. Just bypassing a natural process. The baby that results is still a 'never was before, never will be again' individual. It can never be exactly like the donor in every sense and will grow up with different experiences and be an individual just like everyone else. It is nothing like the movie Multiplicity and never will be. As far as using the fetus (a baby) as a donor for organs or to transplant a brain into, would you do that to any other child? Would you allow the use of an unborn baby (a fetus) for brain stem research? I know some people would and those who deny God exists and therefore do not accept His laws can find it easy to justify.
Actually, humans can and do justify horrible acts. Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler thought nothing of killing millions of people in the name of their 'better way', their vision of utopia. You and I can't even imagine that. What about Idi Amin or Saddam Hussein. Millions of babies are killed every year right here in the US of A. Horribly. There was a time when that was unacceptable. They say abortion should be legal in case of rape or danger to the mother. But are millions of women raped every year?
Cloning in and of itself is not the problem, it's what they want to do with the clones. That's the problem. What will they think of themselves when they learn the truth?

Here's a cool clock to check out.
